I was just looking at the different model for the week for new snowfall. For our area 3-5 inches on Monday so not a big deal but then I saw Wednesday Night into Thursday night. HOLY COW! They are saying the Twin Cities is going to get hit worse than us but we are showing 17-30 inches, winds gusting over 30 and temps falling to -17 below. Why do I live here?

And SWGA will be in the 80’s most of the week, lol. This isn’t normal, but it’s not that uncommon either.

I believe you
But I sure hope Not!

They are saying a foot or so total where I’m at. I’m on call this week for work so I will be out cruising around in the bucket truck wearing my ski goggles when I’m up in the bucket cuz if you don’t your eyes freeze open when it’s that cold and windy.

Don't wet your pants up there or you will be stuck there until Spring!

Perfect

Today, I hit the 1000.00$ mark getting plowed out to my cabin for this winter.
I really have no reason to come here in the winter other then just "because I want to"

$1,000 plowing bill? Wow!

Hard to get a good reading on the weather,...Lieden done shot down all our weather balloons!

Ha! The Canadian, European and GHS model are all over the board but they are all in agreement that we are going to get a BUNCH!

I put a bunch of weather tools (most I got from Oppenheimer Ranch Project) here: https://www.trappersreport.com/weather/

I think the "Snow Forecast" map (move arrows left and right) seems to be pretty accurate.

This is been a tricky year. Pulled all my coyote stuff the middle of Dec. because of the snow amounts. Just got back out and found a group of coyote that are set up just right. Was going to set them until this new unknown weather pattern coming. This area is hard to get in to. I guess I will wait.

This winter has cost me between 30 and 50,000 loss in gross due to snow and weather, fusterating to say the least.
My poor wife from Texas originally needs a vacation.

My weather forecast app says 12-18" between now and Thursday evening. They seem to do a pretty good job of tallying up snowfall amounts after the storm is over. Pretty much a crap shoot until then.

they are all controlled by Travel Agents and the Cruise industry those weather channels

So how is that ice shack you made last year/////,,,,,,is it going to hold up to this snow load.

Thanks nyhuntfish I got that map saved to favorites.Another tool in the shed.

It’s mid friggin February……lol

Before I opened your post, I thought the same. I would never want to live in an area with so much snow and extreme cold.

Minnesota sounds like a great place for a gulag or death camp.

SE MN. dose not show that bad yyet

Must be just south of the lake-nothing forecast for Thunder Bay.

I'm hopeful that it will go north of us.

It has been snowing most of the day here, Not hard, but it is looking like it will last a while. When the wind cranks up in this country it can move for miles.

I am hoping my life sentence is nearly over here and I can start wintering someplace warmer. I hardly trap anymore and swore off ice fishing so I am not sure why I am still here.

Builds character.

Depending on who you listen to, my house can get from 3-9 on the low end to close to 30 on the upper end.

I guess I'll just check tthe Farmer's Almanac

3 to 9" is manageable

Darn skippy. I liked winter a lot better before the proliferation of ice castles

That is about what the forecasts are saying. All over the board.

looks like its going to miss us I hope,

We are sending down some right now. so blame Saskatchewan for not taking any more

It wouldn't hurt to get six more inches of snow around here. Freshen things up a bit.

The wind switched so it is out of the NW 25-35. It not snowing, but there is plenty of snow moving with the wind.

its been a mild winter here, we got snow then wam and rain twice this winter, they canceled dog race because of ice this past weekend, trail are rough could use more snow but hope no 4 day storm.

Now you can build snow men.

160, you got me all excited and just watch…..only gonna end up with an inch or two! Hoping for a nice 6-10” or so to make it nice again. Happy trapping! ScottW

We have gotten around 4 inches so far today but Thursday is the big day they are saying.
